Our
first camera system was started in 2003 with little
success. As we installed a wireless used system. We
found that living next to a welding shop caused a
lot of interferrence with the system. It was also
a shock about 2 hours before Midnight foaled in 2004,
that the camera burned up and was not usable. We had
many people watching until this happened.
The
fall of 2004 we installed our current wired camera
system. This has been a large improvement over our
first system but is still not to the quality we eventually
want to achieve. Each year we improve the system just
a little more until we reach the quality we are looking
reach.
